Speaking to MEN, the 24-year-old said: 'I went in to buy the new home shirt but whilst I was a browsing I saw the white one. I couldn't believe it. I looked at it and thought that must be the away kit.

'I looked at the tag and it said 'Manchester United Away Jersey 2014/15.

'I went to another shop to see if they had it but they told me it wasn't even on sale until the 23rd and they started making phone calls. When I went back to JD it had been taken off the shelves and the staff all looked a bit panicked.

'I'm gutted I didn't buy it now as I would have been the first fan to own it. I really like it, though, and I'll definitely be buying it when it comes out properly.'
